I think they did because I cannot find it anywhere in the config file. Can anyone confirm this?

Well i have them in my conf.in files, both of them!

I heaven't manage find it in my config, so seems a bit different from user to user. WOnder how come???

What was really confusing to me was that the general oppinion pre-alpha seemed top be that the hurricane and the 1A spit were a bit to slow than it was supposed to, and the 2A needed a bit of lower speed.

No idea how come it ended up with all red planes across got such a juicy speed reduction.

You don't want the line in your config file, that line means you are using an old version of the config.ini file.

then where do I get a new config?!? :/

disable steam cloud and reinstall.... then everything is set to default...

[Anders_And]

actually while we are at it... where do i reinstall the game? I delete it like any normal game i assume but i cant seem to find.anywhere in Steam where i can download the game again.

I've tried it all ways with my system. After applying the patch I had the ProcessAffintyMask line applied in the rts section. After reading this thread I commented it out (no difference) then I removed the line all together (again no difference). So do we need it or not???

I have not found any improvements with my system at all with the patch as a lot of others have (some have even found things worse). Looks like the team still has a lot of work to do. It will be interesting to see what their annalysis of the different results are, as all of us were hoping for the improvements that they were talking about. The improvements certainly haven't happened for a big percentage of us.

What I did to reinstall:

First I disabled Steam Cloud Sync (I did it for all games, but it will probably work if you only do it on CloD).

Next I went into 'My Documents' folder and renamed the '1C SoftClub' folder so when I reinstall all the files are replaced (you can do this without reinstalling as well and the game will rebuild the directory. ) All your config files (the hours you spent configuring your controller) are in this directory so you don't want to lose these files.

Next, (In Steam) right click on CloD in the Steam library menu and select "Delete Local Content".


Then select 'Delete'.


Wait a while....

Close Steam.

(I rebooted my computer, but it may not have been necessary).

At this point, start Steam and double check that your steam cloud is still disabled.

In Steam, right click on 'CloD' in the library menu and select 'Install Game' (in the right pane)


Steam is going to re-download everything (so if you have limited bandwidth maybe you should try a different fix first!!!)
Hopefully That did it!


Install Problems After Uninstall: (I'm afraid you may need to do this if you don't see the game in the Steam Library, RickRuski...)
If you are having install problems after uninstalling you can delete 'ClientRegistry.blob' from the main Steam directory (while Steam is not running). https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7241-EYON-2343

This will force a re-validation of Steam so you will need access to the email you used with Steam as you will have to re-validate the account!!!!

I think Luthiers FAQ needs to be updated... Number 11 in particular.
